The Australian Food Bloggers Conference — Eat Drink Blog — is the major community event organised by and for the Australian food blogging community.

Each year, Eat Drink Blog is managed by a different volunteer organising committee. The Eat Drink Blog 3 organising committee is now looking for a new team to organise Eat Drink Blog 4.

Eat Drink Blog 4 follows on from the three previous conferences:

Eat Drink Blog 1, Melbourne, 2010;

Eat Drink Blog 2, Sydney, 2011; and

Eat Drink Blog 3, Adelaide, 2012.

As this is a national food blogging conference, each state has the opportunity to host Eat Drink Blog. So we are particularly interested in hearing from bloggers from Brisbane, Canberra, Perth, Hobart and Darwin.

The format of Eat Drink Blog each year is entirely up to the organising committee. There is no requirement to duplicate what has been done in previous years.

The organising committee is responsible for:

Choosing the date of the conference.

Organising and managing a venue.

Finding and working with speakers and presenters to deliver the conference programme.

Securing and managing sponsors (if desired) to provide in-kind or cash support to assist the conference activities. Traditionally, Eat Drink Blog has been completely free to attend as costs have been covered by sponsors. In the past, delegates have only been responsible for their flights, accommodation and personal expenses.
